How to Use Google Trends to Find Rising Keywords in 2026

Coming up with new article ideas is not always easy. Sometimes you search for keywords and find the same topics repeated everywhere. Google Trends can help because it shows what people are becoming interested in before a subject gets too crowded.

Start with a simple idea

Think about the topics your visitors already care about. If you create YouTube content, start with a broad search such as “YouTube Shorts”, “video ideas” or “AI video tools”. You can also use the EKO24 Keyword Generator to turn a broad topic into more specific keyword ideas.

Google Trends lets you compare similar searches. You may notice that one phrase is slowly growing while another is losing interest. That small difference can help you choose a better title for your next article.

Look at rising searches

The most useful part is often the related searches section. It can show terms that are rising quickly or starting to appear more often.

You do not need to write about every trend. Pick the ones that make sense for your website and that you can explain properly. Before publishing, check that your page is clear with the SEO Checker.

Check the time range

For a new topic, look at the last 30 days. If you want to understand whether a subject comes back every year, check the last 12 months or even five years.

This is useful for seasonal content. Searches about travel, school, fitness or holiday gifts can rise at the same time every year. Publishing early gives your page time to appear in search results.

Turn the trend into a useful article

Once you find a good keyword, do not force it everywhere. Write a clear title, explain the subject in simple words and add examples when they help.

If you create video content, you can combine your keyword research with the YouTube Title Generator and the YouTube Tags Generator to prepare your video before publishing.

Final thoughts

Google Trends is not magic, but it is a practical place to find fresh ideas. Spend a few minutes checking it before planning your next article. You may find a topic that your audience is already starting to search for.
